Some of the world’s best tennis players are putting national pride on the line this week for the 2025 Davis Cup Finals tournament.
Eight countries are taking part in this year’s Davis Cup finals tournament, including defending champions Italy, plus powerhouse tennis nations like Germany and Spain, the latter of which had world number-one Carlos Alcaraz as part of its team until the tennis star pulled out Tuesday, citing injury from last weekend’s ATP Finals match against Jannik Sinner (Sinner is also skipping the Davis Cup tournament).
Still, there’s plenty of star power at the Davis Cup, led by current world number-three Alexander Zverev of Germany, Czech Republic leader Jiří Lehečka, and Italian fan favorite Matteo Berrettini, who continues his comeback from an injury that has sidelined him for most of the last year.
